The first comprehensive book of artist Ai Weiwei’s life and work, captures the story of living art on the edge. Editor Hans Werner Holzwarth collaborated closely with Ai Weiwei, with direct access to his archives, exploring his art and activism over 700 pages of inspiring images and text.
The book features previously unseen images taken during the artists time in New York to production shots of large installations in his workshop, as well as articles from long-time friend, Uli Sigg and former Swiss ambassador to China, Roger M.Buergel.
